I Am a Woman and Proud of it

>> Tuesday, March 9, 2010



That is always my affirmation everytime I look at myself in the mirror. I did not have an idea that it was International Women’s Day yesterday until my friend greeted me. It was touching to have someone to greet me on that day. I find it very sweet. For all the women out there, I salute you all for being what a woman should be, a mother, best friend, colleague, confidante and whatever role you have undertaken. Let us continue to nurture and shape the world.



Let me share with you what Nancy R. Smith (copyright 1973) has to say about us.




For every woman who is tired of acting weak when she knows she is strong, there is a man who is tired of appearing strong when he feels vulnerable.

For every woman who is tired of acting dumb, there is a man who is burdened with the constant expectation of "knowing everything."

For every woman who is tired of being called "an emotional female," there is a man who is denied the right to weep and to be gentle.

For every woman who is called unfeminine when she competes, there is a man for whom competition is the only way to prove his masculinity.

For every woman who is tired of being a sex object, there is a man who must worry about his potency.

For every woman who feels "tied down" by her children, there is a man who is denied the full pleasures of shared parenthood.

For every woman who is denied meaningful employment or equal pay, there is a man who must bear full financial responsibility for another human being.

For every woman who was not taught the intricacies of an automobile, there is a man who was not taught the satisfactions of cooking.

For every woman who takes a step toward her own liberation, there is a man who finds the way to freedom has been made a little easier.


We are not second class citizens of the society or the weaker sex and therefore should not be treated as such. We play a big part in shaping the future of our children. We have the rights equal to what the men are enjoying. Fight for them if you have to at all times.
